Dr. Karl Christian, the doctor whose throat was slashed in a Jamaican hotel, was buried yesterday in Denver – as his family and friends denounced the official inquest that claims he committed suicide with his own razor.

“He had no facial hair,” said Christian’s best friend, James Grundvig. “He’d touch up his face once a month with a battery operated shaver. He never owned a razor. He wouldn’t need to.”

Grundvig attacked the Jamaican autopsy report that said Christian’s wounds were likely to have been self-inflicted.

“Clearly, it was murder,” Grundvig said, noting that the 42-year-old New York anesthesiologist phoned his mother the night he died to say he’d been robbed while attending a medical convention in Montego Bay, Jamaica.

Meanwhile, more than 100 people gathered at a Denver church to say goodbye to Christian, the adopted son of Drs. Wayne and Kara Christian.

During the memorial service, the young doctor was remembered as a passionate man who enjoyed life and everyone around him.
